Great for helping children think and spell correctly.
Enjoy the stimulation and challenge of our mind.
We do enjoy this game but we have a question. Does word wheel ever come to an end? We have played it quite a few times, but it doesnt seem to end. Thank you.
Oh our goodness thats a beautiful picture of a baby great picture love it.
Love the brain challenge. Ive been playing for years, BUT we dont understand the Puzzle IQ AT ALL. We guess it goes down because we dont play regular puzzles every day? Does it do anything for players? We have just been ignoring it. LOL.
This is a fun challenge to find common threads to connect all the pictures! We really enjoy it!! Ive played over 7000 games and have not gotten tired of it at all.
The account syncing in this app is pathetic. We have to redo levels that we have already completed every time we open the app. What a pain.
This is not only an enjoyable entertainment game, its also great for keeping the brain circuits sharp. Thanks.
We love this game. It makes us think. Perfect combo of challenging and relaxing. And its free.
With the 5 Tries 1 Word, if you get the last try (tries) wrong and you continue trying, your last wrong letter(s) will never be disclosed as tried. So, you have to remember the wrong letter(s).
A relaxing game that is a challenge but not overly hard.
Helps to concentrate and focus, helps improve memory.
Muy buen juego lstima que en los iPhone no se puede descargar ms que ingls.
Ads wont close even after touching the X.
We like playing the game but we dont like loosing points everyday, sometimes over 300 points over night.
Debera de colocarse en espaol.
Im 76 and love this game, it keeps our brain functioning and alert. Also has improved our spelling. Enjoy.
We have been playing this game for a very long time. We especially love the daily games (newer additions) they have and bonus rounds.
Some of the frames are very obvious however, some of the frames with the pictures just dont make sense to the word they are wanting you to figure out.
The interface, gameplay, graphics, the ability to save our progress to Apple ID, EVERYTHING the whole core mechanics of this game is incredible. It is so addicting going through levels and watching our stats in our profile rack up! Its very fun looking and guessing the 4 images and coming up with the word!! Very smooth and crisp Trivia! ENDLESS FUN!!! Please keep this going forever with infinite levels and updates! The best game on the Apple Store that we have played in a long time! A must have for word games on your phone.
Our partner and we have lots of fun playing together. We game we can both play and laugh together with. Ty so much for this.
Way too many ads. And some adds are too long or wont ever let you exit them.
Used to be good now its an add every minute. Do not waste your time unless you want to buy.
Je veux en franais sil vous plat.
We were pretty far into the game and after this latest update we're now back at the beginning.
We really enjoyed this game app and played it a lot! Our friend even spent more than three hours a day on it. One reason we loved it was that the IQ score kept increasing, which felt rewarding. But once we reached an IQ of around 150, the game started to feel unreasonable. First, it required passing many levels just to gain a single IQ pointthis wasnt a big issue for us. The real problem was that if you didnt play for a while, your IQ score would drop. Why? If we take a few days offlike when were on vacationthe game penalizes us by lowering our score. It feels like the app expects players to spend four or more hours every day just to maintain their current IQ, which is unrealistic. Because of this, we stopped playing about two months ago. Before that, we loved the game and recommended it to all our friends and family. Its really a shame. If they would stop lowering the IQ score when players take a short break, we might return to the game.
We love this game really makes us think.
We had to delete this because it got so hard and we had to buy coins over and over. We loved it for so many years.
We just love this game we try not to miss a day of playing.
First, the TEMU thing is totally frustrating – please stop that. Also, can we please have the option to use points to not just buy the reward images but also to buy the animation with point earned. NEW NOTE: The rising cost of tokens when youve missed a day and the intrusive ads are making a game we love, less and less interesting to us. We havent played at all this month.
Good game but too many commercials.
We absolutely adore this game and have been playing it for years. We love the mini games and challenges that have been added recently bc it provides variety, BUT we are starting to recognize after a certain point (around the 3,400 level mark), the levels are repeating. We keep getting the same levels we had previously solved before. We wish the creators could add different words/levels so we wouldnt get stuck in a loop of the same puzzles.
We have played this for years. Lately it has gotten far too many ads. You have to watch ads after every level plus ads to get your rewards and then another ad to get a new level. Im probably going to delete the whole thing because Im frustrated.
So glad we been playing this game over ten years. It has been challenging at times, then other time its been real simple, we play each and every day. Thanks to the inventors of this game. We dont know what we would do if we ever have to start all over again.
Love this App however sometimes disappointed Been using this app since 2013. We have the sound off for a reason. Now we're afraid to even open the app with others around because of the noise at an inappropriate time so we have to wait till alone But it really does help us develop our word skills. So plan to keep on going after over 11 years.
We play several times a day and enjoy the challenge.
Get game for keeping your mind sharp and focused. Makes you challenge yourself think of words that you might not have used in a while.
Im barely playing anymore because it has gotten too frustrating. Ive been playing for years and our level is near 10,000 so maybe thats why but its not fun anymore.
We look forward to midnight so we can work the puzzle! Im close to quit playing this game because of your IQ portion of the game. Our score is 550K+ but every time we get our IQ score above 160, each night you subtract more than 1 point. And the number of points required to add another point goes WAY up. We have enjoyed this game but we are VERY upset about the IQ portion of this game.
Keeps us alert and alive . Im a senior.
Its fun but also really easy!we would like to inform the company to make some harder levels pls!there is also not so many adds, which we find rare because most, we mean all games have so many adds!but this game we good! Pls make some harder levels! Thank u.
Really needs a way to turn off those silly IQ points, it doesnt mean anything. Now, theres some leadership board that wants to give us more of them. We never asked to participate in this board, and theres no way to X out of it to not collect the points other than shutting the game down.
Our husband and we have been doing 4 pics 1 word for years and we love it.
We played this game a lot when we were younger, and we wanted to play it again! We have no issues with the game itself, but Im extremely disappointed with the use of AI images for the icon options. It really put us off picking up the game again.
Way too many ads, still a decent free game that kills time.
We like the game a lot, but every single day when you open the app it takes away IQ points. So if youre at 146, it will take you back down to 145. And then you have to do another 70 or 80 puzzles just to get back to where you were. And if you take a couple of days off then you literally have to do two or three levels just to catch up. Its very annoying and frustrating to keep redoing levels over and over. It makes you want to give up and not play anymore.
we love this game.. It makes us focus and look at things in a different perspective. And the best part is that you keep us on our toes with our spelling.
Too may adds not enjoyable, too much money to replay forgotten days.
Way to much time watching advertising over and over.
We have loved this game for years, but with the last update you added too many ads. L.O.N.G. Ads. Each game takes maybe 15 seconds to solve. Then we have to watch 60-90 seconds of ads. That is not a good use of our time.
